Integra developed the first onlay collagen graft for dural repair in 1999 and is the market leader in providing graft materials for sutureless closure of dural defects in the United States.

The dura mater is a tough, fibrous membrane that surrounds and protects the tissues of the brain and spinal cord. When the dura mater is cut or torn, it must be repaired, either by suturing or applying a dural graft, to prevent cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks. Dural defects may be repaired using several techniques, including commercially available dural graft substitutes. Surgeons may be able to repair the dura mater more efficiently when using graft substitutes that do not require sutures, such as DuraGen Plus® Dural Regeneration Matrix - Spinal Matrix.
